Pack of Lies

Listened to a riveting performance of Pack of Lies, the play, on the drive last night. I heard the 2004 or 2005 version produced by L.A. Theatre Works and recorded in front of a live audience.

The performance features Martin Jarvis as Stewart and Rosalind Ayres as Barbara Jackson. In real life, Jarvis and Ayres married each other in 1974.
Description
Actual events during the Cold War inspired this thriller that takes place in a suburb of London during the autumn and winter of 1960-1961. Loyalty, duty, and friendship collide when the Jacksons slowly discover the Krogers, their neighbors and cherished friends, are not what they appear. A gripping play that may leave you wondering exactly what it is those nice people next door are really up to. Starring (in alphabetical order): Megan Austin Oberle as Julie, Sally Rosalind Ayres as Barbara Jackson Roxanne Hart as Helen Kroger Martin Jarvis as Stewart Sione Owen as Thelma Julian Sands as Bob Jackson David Selby as Peter Kroger.
